Overview
- A preliminary call-detail report showed the investigating officer made multiple calls to the first post-mortem doctor before and after the procedure, prompting the court to voice suspicion about the officer’s role.
- State counsel said the calls had no specific purpose, but the judges asked for proof and granted time to file a detailed report next week.
- The division bench had earlier ordered production of call records for 17 people, including the investigating officer, the Khejuri police station chief and the initial post-mortem doctor.
- The first autopsy cited electrocution, while a second examination at SSKM Hospital reported injury marks, deepening questions about the initial findings.
- The probe stands with the West Bengal CID after a court transfer last month, as families of Sudhir Chandra Paik and Sujit Das press for a CBI investigation.
